Relay operators: what's your plan when you start to run out of space?

At this pace my relay can only survive maybe 400 days or less before hard drive is filled.

Wondering if my free relay should be all about recent notes, and have my own dedicated private relay that will just store my notes?

For the social media use case of NostrGram I don't see why you would need to store notes in perpetuity, especially since people can easily backup their data or run their own relay for their own history. I tested it early on with NostrGram and virtually nobody ever scrolled past 2-3 days to read the notes.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Definitely want copies of all my notes at least.

But then is Nostr really the censorship resistant network we think it is, where instead of getting censored you your speech just expires?
